Seeking the Way of Immortality

That night, Wu Zheng simply ate something and lay down to rest!

Since he had entered the world, he would rest according to the schedule of ordinary people, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. Tomorrow would be a new beginning.

The next morning, Wu Zheng woke up with the sound of a cock crowing, swept away his fatigue, and began to tidy up the whole yard. There was nothing left in the yard that belonged to the two old men, and the rest were things that could not be taken away.

Wu Zheng was a cultivator after all, and his physical strength was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In less than an hour, the whole yard was thoroughly cleaned by Wu Zheng, including the "Wang's Carpenter" on the door, which was replaced by "Yuanmu Pavilion" by Wu Zheng.

After making some simple rice porridge, Wu Zheng began a new day of work.

The first thing he should be familiar with was his neighbors. On the left was the blacksmith shop, on the right was the brewery, and opposite was a snack bar.

When Wu Zheng was eating in the morning, he bought some dry food at the snack bar opposite and also got a lot of information. The names and hobbies of the neighbors were briefly told to Wu Zheng by old man Wang Dewang yesterday.

The owner of the blacksmith shop is a burly middle-aged man named Zhang Chen, with a wife, a son and a daughter. His wife is named Li Cuihua, his son Zhang Yaoting, who is ten years old this year, and his daughter Zhang Yi, who is eight years old this year.

The family is harmonious and the business is very prosperous.

The owner of the winery is an old man named Sun Teng, who brews good wine. He is not as old as Wang Dewang, about forty or fifty years old. His wife passed away early, and several children also settled in Yanjing, leaving him alone to live here.

It’s not that the children are unfilial, but the old man can’t bear to leave the grass and trees here, and the neighbors here. Although the children are far away in Yanjing, they also take time to visit the old man every month.

Life is quite happy.

A young couple is running a snack shop opposite. They inherited the craftsmanship of their elders and continue to serve the neighbors. Their son, who has just learned to walk, has brought a lot of laughter to this small place.

"Uncle, are you going to open a shop here?" A chubby little boy looked at Wu Zheng in a soft voice.

"Yes! Welcome?"

"Welcome, but where is Grandpa Wang?" The little guy's eyes flickered.

"Oh, your Grandpa Wang went to Yanjing to enjoy his life!" Wu Zheng said with a smile.

"Oh." The little guy looked disappointed.

"Hehe, don't mind! Children don't know." A burly man touched the little boy's head and said with a smile.

"It's okay, you'll be fine after you get familiar with it!" Wu Zheng said indifferently.

"Well, little brother, what's your name?" the big man asked.

"Oh, brother, my name is Wu Zheng. I just moved here yesterday and plan to continue doing carpentry work here." Wu Zheng replied.

"Oh, little brother, my name is Zhang Chen, I'm in the blacksmith shop next to you, this is my son, named Zhang Yaoting." The big man said with a smile.

"Hey, brother Wu, my name is Dong Yuning, the owner of this 'Dong's Snacks', this is my wife Chen Yanyu." A young man who was cooking said to Wu Zheng with a smile.

Wu Zheng responded to every word.

"Hey, Wu kid, old man Sun Teng, if you want to drink, come to my house, it's free." An old man who was eating said with a smile.

"Okay! I'll definitely bother you when the time comes." Wu Zheng said with a smile.

The neighbors laughed.

Seeing that Wu Zheng was easy to get along with, the neighbors who were eating not far away came over to greet Wu Zheng, and Wu Zheng responded one by one, and they had a good chat for a while.

"Brother Dong, can you cook here?"

"What's the matter, Brother Wu?"

"I want to treat everyone here tonight, just to get to know everyone."

"Okay, no problem, you can just come to my place tonight." Dong Yuning said with a smile.

"Okay!"

"Wu kid, you can't have no wine to treat everyone!" Sun Teng said loudly.

"Hehe, I was just about to tell you!"

"Okay! Kid, all the wine today will be sold to you at the original price."

"Hehe, then I would like to thank Grandpa Sun first!"

"Dear neighbors, my name is Wu Zheng, I just moved here yesterday, and I will treat everyone here tonight. I hope everyone can give me some face and come tonight!" Wu Zheng said loudly.

"Okay! I will definitely come in the evening."

"Hehe, whoever doesn't come is not giving me face, so don't come to my house to buy ironware!"

"That's right, Wu is so sensible. If anyone doesn't come, I will refuse to sell him wine."

"Hehe, whoever doesn't come is stupid! Don't you think so?"

The neighbors shouted loudly.

For a while, the scene was very lively, and Wu Zheng was also very happy. I didn't expect the folk customs here to be so enthusiastic.

After buying dry food, Wu Zheng went to the place where rice, noodles, bowls and dishes were sold again, borrowed a small cart from the blacksmith shop, and purchased rice and other daily necessities.

It was busy until noon to fill up the empty yard. In the afternoon, Wu Zheng went to the timber market to purchase a lot of good wood, and customized several carving knives for carving at the blacksmith shop.

"Brother Wu Zheng, are you going to sell carvings?"

"Yes, the craftsmanship passed down from my ancestors, and I don't know other jobs, so I can only rely on my old capital!" Wu Zheng explained.

"Well, okay. I'll work on it and try to make it for you tonight." Zhang Chen said, patting his chest.

"Then I'd like to thank Brother Zhang first! We must go to dinner tonight! Bring my sister-in-law and two children, and we brothers will have a good drink."

"We must go, don't worry!"

In the evening, when the sun was about to set, Wu Zheng came to the snack shop opposite early and started to help. The neighbors also brought their own specialties to "Dongji Snacks" and helped with the work.

Soon, the neighbors brought gifts to congratulate Wu Zheng on the opening of "Yuanmu Pavilion".

Wu Zheng even bought a large string of firecrackers and lit them at the door of his house. The neighbors shouted and the scene was very lively.

"Brother Wu Zheng, this is the vegetable grown by my family. Try it. If it's delicious, tell me."

"Brother Wu Zheng, this is the offspring of my family's rhubarb. I'll take care of your house."

"Hehe, brother Wu Zheng, I don't have anything to give you. I can only forge iron. These carving knives are for you!" Zhang Chen took out the carved knives he had made and handed them to Wu Zheng.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang."

"Brother Wu Zheng, there's nothing good in my family. I'll introduce you to a wife in a while, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Aunt Xie, maybe our brother Wu Zheng already has one, so why should you worry about it? You might as well find a companion for your eldest nephew first!

"Go to hell, Liu Xiaoer, you're just a kid, you're idle all day, which girl is willing to live with you!"

"Hehe, aunt, you don't understand this! Women don't love men who are not bad, don't you think so!" Liu Xiaoer said with a smile.

"Wu Zheng, I've brought you some wine!" Sun Teng pulled the wine and shouted from a distance.

"Okay, Uncle Sun, how much is it? I'll give you the money first."

"Forget it! I'll give it to you!" Old man Sun said with a smile.

"That won't work. You're doing business, and you can't do it without money! If you don't take the money, I won't buy it! "Wu Zhengxiang said angrily.

"Hey, kid, okay! There are sixty jars in total, and the market price is thirty coins. I will give you the original price, twenty coins per jar, a total of twelve taels of silver. If you can't finish it, you can return it to me. How about it?" Old man Sun thought for a while and said.

"Okay! This is twelve taels, please keep it. "

"Brother Wu Zheng, the meal is ready! Let's eat!" Dong Yuning said with a smile.

"Okay! Everyone, take your seats! "Wu Zheng shouted.

Someone brought wine, someone brought dishes, children laughed, adults shouted, dogs barked in the distance, chickens and ducks clucked nearby, the lights were bright, and for a moment Wu Zheng seemed to have returned to the past.

No need to shout, no need to call, they were all simple people, and one by one they had already started to pull Wu Zheng to drink.

The wine was low-alcohol wine. This place was close to the Chijin Mountains, and the people were tough. Men, women, old and young could drink a little. The meal was carefully prepared by Dong Yuning and his wife, and it was quite delicious.

Men, women, old and young were very familiar with each other, and one by one they pulled Wu Zheng to toast, and it was very lively.
